Although the desert is quite hot and dry during the day, at night, the coldness of November is revealed in the desert without reservation. The sand beneath you is like pieces of ice, greedily absorbing the surrounding heat.
.
Zhou Zhou and the other scientific researchers had already made preparations and brought warm things such as baby warmers, so they slept peacefully at night.
As for Wang Jin and the others, as warriors, their blood energy was flowing and they did not feel cold either.
Outside the tent, there was a howling north wind blowing through the wild sky.
The wind blew so hard that the whole tent swayed, as if an invisible hand was vigorously shaking the tent.
Dark clouds enveloped the sky, and the subtle pale moonlight fell from the sky and reflected on the tent, adding a gloomy atmosphere to the late night above the desert.
However, this was not the reason why Wang Jin and others could not sleep all night.
I looked at my watch, it was already about eleven o'clock in the evening.
But Wang Jin and the other three people in the tent all looked up to the sky with their eyes wide open.
No one spoke.
There was a faint air of embarrassment floating in the air.
The three of them were not used to sleeping with strangers, especially Wang Jin. Although he had slept in Datongbu in his previous life, that was already a past life.
At this moment, sleeping with these two boys, I always feel as if there are ants crawling all over my body.
Zhai Shaohui's two big eyes were moving quietly, as if he was thinking of something to say to ease the awkward atmosphere in the tent.
To save space, they only equip each tent with one compression quilt.
At this time, the three of them were covered with the same compression quilt, and their elbows could touch each other whenever they moved.
"Okay, go to bed early, we have to travel tomorrow."
Seeing that the time was about to reach twelve o'clock, there was still no one talking.
It was Wang Jin who spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the tent.
Both of them nodded silently, but in such an awkward atmosphere, no one dared to move, so they just lay down quietly.
I don't even feel comfortable turning over.
After all, it doesn’t seem to be good whether you turn your back to others or face others...
Resisting the discomfort, Wang Jin forced himself to close his eyes. When he thought that such days might last for a month, he couldn't help but sigh.
The two little fat guys also imitated Wang Jin and closed their eyes, forcing themselves to sleep.
A few minutes later, these two heartless guys started snoring, but Wang Jin still couldn't fall asleep.
"Damn...sleeping in a tent with strangers...or two men..."
He shook his head and sighed helplessly, trying to fall asleep again.
call!
The wind outside seemed to be blowing harder, but Wang Jin suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside the tent, the pale moonlight cast on the surface of the tent, and Wang Jin could clearly see just now that there seemed to be a black shadow flashing past!
This surprised Wang Jin. You must know that with his current perception, even if someone approaches within fifty meters, he can detect them in an instant.
The tent was only a stone's throw away from him, but when the black shadow flashed past, he didn't even notice it in advance, and he didn't even hear a sound!
If he hadn't caught a glimpse of it accidentally, he might not have noticed it at all.
Wang Jin's eyes changed, and without any hesitation, Wang Jin lifted the quilt and strode out of the tent.
The two people who were already sleeping soundly in the tent were woken up by Wang Jin. They sat up suddenly with a little bewilderment. They looked at Wang Jin's back as he rushed out of the tent blankly. They didn't know what happened for a moment.
Outside the tent, everything was quiet. The military plane was still parked in the desert and would not leave until tomorrow.
The two pilots spent the night on the plane and fell asleep.
There was nothing in the wilderness, not even a single person could be seen.
Wang Jin's eyes quickly swept around, not finding any suspicious traces or any unusual shadows.
As if it was an illusion just now.
Wow!
At the same time, from the tent opposite, a tall figure also strode out, and it was the scarred face.
The scarred man's upper body was bare, and his strong tendons looked even more dazzling in the moonlight. He was scanning the surroundings with a vigilant expression.
Obviously, he also noticed something happening.
"Did you also notice the shadow just now?"
After scanning the surroundings, he found nothing unusual. Then the scarred face looked at Wang Jin, with a hint of imperceptible surprise in his voice.
Wang Jin nodded. If it hadn't been for the scarred face, he might have thought that the flashing shadow just now was his illusion.
But now it seems...it doesn't seem to be an illusion?
"Did you see anything unusual?"
Scarface asked.
"No, I only saw a fleeting shadow. When I came out, I didn't see anything."
Wang Jin answered truthfully.
Scarface thought for a moment, squatted down, reached out to grab the sand on the ground, crushed it, and looked around again for a few seconds.
Still no problem found.
He went to the military plane again, knocked on the window of the plane, woke up the two pilots inside, and questioned them.
The answer I got was the same as Wang Jin.
They didn't see any shadows passing by.
"Maybe it's a bird in the sky..."
He stood up and glanced at the dark night sky, pondered for a while and then said.
Wang Jin nodded slightly, and now he can only guess like this.
After all, if something really passes by outside the tent, it cannot disappear without a trace in an instant.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Everyone in the tent was awakened and poked their heads out in confusion.
"It's okay, it's just a false alarm."
Scarface waved his hand: "Everyone, please continue to rest."
With that said, he got back into the tent first.
"Don't look at it. It's okay. Take the time to rest. I have to get up early tomorrow morning and go on the road."
Wang Jin turned around and saw two heads sticking out of the tent behind him, and waved to them.
Although Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing had a vague feeling that something had happened, when they saw that Wang Jin and the scar-faced man both said it was okay, they retracted their heads obediently despite some doubts in their hearts.
The two of them were woken up from their sleep. Now they lay down again and soon fell into sleep.
Although Wang Jin didn't notice anything unusual just now, he always felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart. After lying down, he looked at the pale moonlight falling on the tent, and after a long time, he fell asleep unknowingly.
He didn't open his eyes until early the next morning, and his sleep was unexpectedly good.
The "cooling period" of the dream world has not passed yet, and Wang Jin has been sleeping peacefully for the past few days.
Subconsciously, he glanced back and saw that Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing were still sleeping soundly. The two guys didn't look like they were sleeping at all. They were sleeping with their legs spread out and their legs were tangled together. Wang Jin felt a chill as he watched.
"Get up."
He kicked Zhai Shaohui on the butt, waking up the fat man who was still snoring.
The little fat man woke up in a daze and found that he was sleeping with Zhou Qing in his arms. He immediately started shouting and quarreling with Zhou Qing.
Early in the morning, the excitement started.
Wang Jin shook his head helplessly and walked out of the tent, only to find that everyone outside the tent had already gotten up, and even the tents had been put away.
Scarface and the others were squatting on the ground, eating compressed biscuits.
Zhou Zhou was munching on compressed biscuits while constantly adjusting some equipment that Wang Jin had never seen before.
Making final preparations to enter Nest No. 178.
Seeing Wang Jin get up, Scarface raised his head and glanced at him without saying anything else.
It wasn't until Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing came out of the tent with bruises and swollen faces that Scarface glanced at them coldly.
"Since you guys are here to see the world, don't expect others to serve you."
He spoke coldly and said: "Sleeping up so late in the morning? What? You can just let us protect you, but you still want us to be your nanny? Cook for you? Do you want us to provide you with jiaochuang service every morning?"
"
Little Fatty and Zhou Qing were submissive and did not dare to speak.
"Okay, hurry up and put the tent away."
Seeing that the two of them were embarrassed, Wang Jin spoke up to help them out.
Scarface glanced at Wang Jin and said nothing.
The two fat men felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried over to put away the tent.
Wang Jin took out a small glass bottle from his backpack, poured out one of the pills, and swallowed it silently.
This is the Bigu Pill he refined. Taking one pill is enough to keep you from being hungry for a whole day.
This is still a simplified version that he refined without adding true energy. If he strictly follows the refining method in the dream world, the refined Bigu Pill will be enough to prevent hunger for several days.
It's just that the Bigu Pill doesn't taste very good. If there wasn't enough space in his backpack, Wang Jin wouldn't like to eat this kind of thing.
"Mr. Liu, we are leaving first."
The two pilots shouted to Scarface in the cabin.
The mission of Zhou Zhou and his team will most likely be calculated in months. The two pilots are not strong enough and it is impossible to follow them into nest No. 178.
When Zhou Zhou and others entered the nest, the two of them left first. When Zhou Zhou and others came out of the nest and contacted the military headquarters, they came to pick up everyone.
Scarface nodded slightly.
The two pilots immediately started the engines, and when the propellers rotated rapidly, they whipped up huge gusts of wind and quickly rose into the air, quickly disappearing from sight.
Until the helicopter completely disappeared from sight.
Scarface withdrew his gaze and looked at the rest of the people.
"Okay, without further ado, let's enter Nest No. 178 as quickly as possible. Professor Yin, are you okay?"
"no problem."
Professor Yin nodded, packed up all the instruments he needed to bring, put them on his back and stood up.
Everyone had no objections. After a brief rectification, they got up and strode towards Nest No. 178.
Wang Jin walked at the back of the team. Behind him, the fat guys Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing were still chewing compressed biscuits and followed behind with their luggage on their backs.
The group quickly entered the area of Nest No. 178.
